A rare blend of financial depth and data fluency

I've spent over a decade at the intersection of finance and data — building credit risk models, leading CECL frameworks, and designing AI-ready data products at institutions like Toyota Financial Services, Innovate Auto Finance, and Point Predictive.

My background spans econometrics, financial risk management, and modern data engineering. I don't just build models — I build the infrastructure, governance, and reporting that make them trustworthy and sustainable over time.

Now I bring that senior-level expertise directly to clients who need it, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
